Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com reports that Jorge Cantu is nearing a deal with the Doosan Bears of the Korean Baseball Organization.

Cantu spent 2013 in the Mexican League and hasn't played in the majors since 2011, when he batted just .194/.232/.285 over 57 games with the Padres. He'll turn 32 next month. Fri, Dec 6, 2013 02:55:00 PM

Troy Renck of the Denver Post writes that the Rockies are "internally discussing" whether to pursue Jorge Cantu.

Cantu was recently given his release by the Angels after exercising the opt-out clause in his minor league contract. The 30-year-old played with the Rockies' Triple-A affiliate last year and would likely serve as minor league depth if he returned to the organization. Tue, May 1, 2012 12:15:00 PM

Cantu exercised the opt-out clause in his minor league contract with Anaheim after failing to earn a promotion during the first month of the regular season. He'll presumably look for a role with another club. Mon, Apr 30, 2012 02:35:00 PM
